STIMULATE YOUR SENSES with a garden that begs to be touched, smelled, and used. Often loaded with fragrant herbs that can be clipped for cooking, sensory gardens make a fresh and therapeutic addition to the kitchen, patio, or wherever you have a sunny window. For a large-scale example, check out the open-air display at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. But even a tabletop planter can do the job. This galvanized steel container garden, created by Bachman’s, is filled with basil, curry, and club moss. We perched it in front of iron wallpaper—yep, wallpaper—for another kind of sensory experience: the double take.
